About our Veterinary General Practice:

Since 1959, Central Veterinary Hospital has strived to bring excellent medicine and surgery as well as a gentle, compassionate touch to the pets entrusted to us. The hospital was founded under the leadership of Dr. W. S. Bentham, which later continued under his son, the late Dr. W. H. Bentham. Today, we keep many of the same goals and expectations of the founders in mind as we service the Fremont community. We believe that quality medicine is best achieved when a family mindset fosters our expectations of service for our clients and team.
